Blessings, Quotes, and Prayers

God’s love will always be there to comfort you, guide you, and bless you.

Mark 14:22-2 While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many."
John 6:35 “Then Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.’”

I clasp my hands, then kneel and pray on this, my first Communion Day. I ask you, Jesus, to watch me grow, and teach me all that I need to know. Protect me daily, from all things bad, and fill my heart with all things glad. And if I ever lose my way, please guide me back when I kneel and pray.
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I receive You into my soul.
I know that You give me many gifts. The gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ in Holy Communion is the greatest of all. How can I ever thank You enough for this special gift?
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I receive You into my soul.
